Table 7.
The comparison of selected inflammatory parameters (humoral and cellular) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and in the control group
| Variable | Obstructive diseases (n = 49) | Control group (n = 30) | p |
|---|---|---|---|
| Absolute neutrophils | 7.90 (5.60, 10.10) | 2.9 (2.3, 3.8) | < 0.001 |
| Absolute lymphocytes | 1.3 (0.8, 1.8) | 1.9 (1.5, 2.2) | < 0.001 |
| Absolute platelets | 238.0 (181.0, 289.0) | 119.0 (99.0, 144.0) | < 0.001 |
| Neutrophil/lymphocyte | 5.0 (3.1, 10.6) | 1.7 (1.1, 2.0) | < 0.001 |
| Platelet/lymphocyte | 19.6 (11.5, 30.3) | 64.0 (55.0, 93.0) | < 0.001 |
| CRP | 8.0 (2.2, 34.0) | 0.7 (0.2, 1.3) | < 0.001 |
| CIC | 0.31 (0.26, 0.36) | 0.14 (0.11, 0.17) | < 0.001 |
| CRP/CIC | 34.0 (7.4, 102.4) | 6.0 (1.0, 13.0) | < 0.001 |
CRP – C-reactive protein, CIC – circulating immune complexes
